What I would do if I was you I would try something else, I have been on exactly the same thing, tell the Dr it not working, if u look it up on google it is for mild depression & doesn't touch anything, I am on the highest dose ever of Venlafaxine for PTSD 375 mg after 1 Doctor put me on 10 mg of amtripiline, not a proper antidepressant either & then he wouldn't up it so I got another Dr to then I went over & had too much Serotonin & was shaking & dizzy & I stuck to my guns & told the Dr & got what I wanted, it is no easy ride I tell u, also get a good counsellor also, have u got support as such, also ask for something like Valium or something to calm nerves till the other stuff starts working, believe me it takes a long time, I put a note on my phone for 6 mths & said I'm only dng it till then, & slowly but surely it is better, try walking, the counsellor, said to me, u enjoy 1 coffee a day, go & do it, so I buy myself a nice one, been dng this for 2 years & if I don't get it, it's like my drug stupid but it works< & also read a book & try & go for a walk by myself too, if one of these things doesn't happen look out!!!!!! you will still get depressed it doesn't change your character, it makes u back to what u were, have u got a goal in life to work towards, I have had people tell me that I feel tired too, don't worry about that, work towards what u felt like before u went on them, my goal was to wash the car & I did, I cried as I told Mum, 6 years later, not without it's up's & downs. U will feel stronger gng thru it I am & I am a lot more patient, I got support when I really got bad, otherwise no one understood, just thought I am a bit tired & u look alright, just because someone looks fine doesn't mean they are, same as a broken arm, we have a broken brain, & it needs treatment! also the more people told me not too do things I did them, it nearly killed me & I nearly gave up, go online on google & type in depression tests, I did 1, 24 out of 27 out of 27, 1 out of 27 & do it once a mth, hope this helps, sorry to be so long winded, I'm not sure what country u are from, but stick to your guns & say I am not leaving till u help me, thanks
